[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a lawyer, had a hard time understanding this, but think it means he got screwed?  Just what he deserves in my opinion ...

Not really. His motion to dismiss was denied.

Pretty soon his attorney will be able to file a motion to dismiss based on the right to a speedy trial. They keep putting it off due to covid and that excuse won’t work for much longer.

The crime he is charged with is a misdemeanor and at worst a fine of $500. He needs to clear it from his record so he can be employable. [/quote]

He has engaged a very high-level criminal defense attorney, Peter Greenspun.

I realize that people have really strong feelings about this incident/case - rightly so. But it seems Bloom has maintained his innocence so I'm sure FCPS doesn't have a choice to keep him on their payroll unless their independent investigation finds him at fault. And they probably aren't going to make that finding while there is a criminal case. If he's acquitted/cleared of the criminal charges then they are going to have to have a separate reason to dismiss him. [/quote]
